Pied-bill Grebe

Critique Style Requested: Standard

Description

Cute little birds. Perhaps too much open space, but I liked the reflection of the fall colors and the rings in the water.

Specific Feedback

Any thoughts appreciated.

Technical Details

The space works for me, Allen. Nice light and it’s nice to see a good head turn from one of these. They usually want to swim away from me.

Very nice Allen! Light is beautiful and not too much space. Ripples are good too…imply motion, and I like his little head turn over the shoulder.

Hi Allen, I think the space around the bird is fine especially given the nice reflected colors. The head turn really makes the shot. Well done.

Nice capture of this juvenile, Allen. As others have mentioned the light is fantastic and the grebe cooperated with a complementary head turn. The colors and ripples also add a lot to this image. I would have liked to see a lower angle if that was possible, but that’s a minor nit.
